1.35 million kids in the U.S. experience homelessness each year, including more than 2,000 in Dallas alone.

Our Family Connection Program serves youth and families experiencing homelessness across the Dallas area. Throughout the year, our staff shows up at shelters, transitional living centers, schools, and extended-stay motels with weekly CBSG® support groups, summer camps, family outings, and monthly food deliveries.

For a child facing so much uncertainty, having a trusted adult return each week, a safe place to talk, and something special to look forward to can mean so much. 💛

Growing up can be difficult, especially when bullying becomes part of a child’s experience.

A simple check-in can give a young person the space they need to share what is happening. Listen closely, lead with kindness, and let them know they deserve to feel safe and respected. 🧡

Since 1982, every Brighter Days CBSG® Program session has ended with participants saying five Major Messages aloud:

✨ I AM! I CAN! I HAVE! I WILL! I BELIEVE! ✨

Each message reminds children of their strengths, their abilities, the support surrounding them and the hope they can carry into the future. Repeated week after week, these affirmations help young people build confidence, resilience, and a stronger belief in themselves.

Early conversations about mental health can help children build healthy coping skills that last a lifetime. 💛

Mental health affects how youth understand their emotions, build relationships, and respond to challenges. By creating safe spaces for honest conversations, we can help children feel seen, heard, and valued, and know it is okay to ask for support.

Every CBSG® session begins with a Sunshine and Cloud check-in. ☀️☁️

Youth share one thing bringing them happiness (sunshine) and one thing making them feel sad, worried, or angry (cloud). This simple tradition gives every child a chance to be heard while opening the door to honest conversations and meaningful connections.

What are your Sunshine and Cloud today? ⬇️

Early prevention can save many lives. 🧡

According to SAMHSA, 90% of adults who have a substance use disorder began using substances in adolescence. By focusing on prevention and early intervention, we can empower youth to make healthy choices and build safer, stronger communities.
